Dear Dana, Adam, and Kari,
Although I did not meet you yet, I still remember the days I spent living with my Dad and Mom in San Diego and driving out in Mira Mesa and past Miramar Naval Air Station. Those were fun times to drag Mira Mesa Blvd!! It was only a few weeks ago that Mark and I made contact again on Facebook. I am sorry for you loss, but I think about my father's passing and know that they are both relieved of the suffering they were experiencing with us. I wish I lived closer so I could come to the service. I am getting married on Thursday and cannot make the trip. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Barry & Jiaunna Snyder, and our children Brian, Andrew, Adam, Jacob, Devin, Shalea, Tiffany, James, Stirling, Janisha, Scott, Sherika, Chandler, Mikaela

Mark's friendly personality will be missed by all. I remember him as a little boy when his dad used to have him and Monty look out for the cops for him to keep them occupied while they were in the car. He was looking out the window and saw a woman with not much clothing on top and yelled "Laly". His life was short but he left us a lot of happy memories. It is hard to believe it, but the days ahead will get easier. My prayers are with all of his family.
